TORRANCE, Calif. (Apr. 21, 2004) – Back in 1938, Vic Edelbrock Sr. started the Edelbrock Company and made a name for himself and the company with racers with the “Slingshot” intake manifold. That tradition of great Edelbrock racing manifolds continues with the new Victor EFI and Super Victor EFI manifolds.

Just ask drag racer/engine builder Tracy Dennis who dyno-tested Edelbrock’s Super Victor EFI manifold #29275 up against a competitor’s comparable EFI manifold and got an extra 21 hp and 16 ft/lbs. torque. “As you could imagine, we were very pleased,” said Dennis. “Being skeptical, we tried it again and found the dyno results were just the same. Edelbrock has done it again. We already install #2927 on all our 555 and 565 Super Series engines, so now we’ll be sending all our EFI 565s out with #29275.”

Like all the new Edelbrock racing EFI manifolds, #29275 (for big-block Chevys) makes converting competition engines to electronic fuel injection a simple procedure. Edelbrock’s engineers have precisely positioned the injector bosses on the manifold, which are expertly machined for excellent fuel spray and optimum power.

To complete the competition EFI system, Edelbrock also offers fuel rails, fuel pumps and regulators, which are available separately.

The new Victor EFI and Super Victor EFI manifolds are available now for the following applications:

  • Super Victor EFI for big-block Chevys (#29275)
  • Super Victor EFI for small-block Chevys (#29785)
  • Victor EFI for 1965-79 Pontiacs with street 389-455 c.i.d. V8 engines (#50565)
  • Super Victor EFI for 351-W Ford (#29245)

  • Super Victor 8.2 short deck EFI for 289-302 c.i. Ford (#29285)
  • Super Victor EFI for 389-455 c.i.d. competition Pontiacs with 4500 Series throttle body (#29565)
  • Super Victor EFI for 389-455 c.i.d. competition Pontiacs (#29575)

Edelbrock’s Victor Series manifolds are single-plane, high-rise intakes designed for maximum power at higher engine speeds. They have extra material for port matching and customizing to maximize engine performance. Super Victor Series manifolds utilize modern induction design techniques for incredible race-winning power. A direct “line-of-sight” flow path provides maximum flow for outstanding performance.

These manifolds are for competition only, and are not legal for sale or use on pollution-controlled motor vehicles.
